Wichita Increases her Lead In the
State League-NoW for Ar
kansas City's Scalp

Yesterday was another grand victory for
the ! Wichita's against the Emporias. The
home team acquitted themselves admirably
while the visitors played to the usual "bad
luck. Soon after the game commenced it
became apparent that the Wichita's were
going to pull together as usual, and it was
equally apparent that Emporias had not got
over the former five successive defeats.
They played ''rattled" almost from the first,
and the score card soon registered that state
of affairs.
At 2 o'clock the street cars going south
were crowded .'above and below with pas
sengers bound for the ball grounds. Soon
the fine turnouts were pointed in similar
direction. By O'Clock it became
apparent that another big attendance was
booked for the game. Soon the carriages
occupied all the space on the grounds that
could be given for that purpose. The grand
stand was full, as usual.
The betting was mainly two to one for
Wichita. Some bets were made four to one
for the home team. The major part of the
betting, however, was by innings. The bet
ting was greater than on either of the prev
ious days. The fellows who seemed to be
moved by intuition talked and put up their
money on Emporia, and Of course were will
ing to get two or three to one as they could.
They had somehow been informed on the
rule of ''luck" that the visitors would liter
ally mop up the diamond with the home
team, and you remember
told you so" was the care
full charge. AS the game advanced
things more and more looked as
though they doubted their intention on the
subject.
